    - 00:55UT - PHOT STD: PG0231 (UgBVRriz): Seeing 0.6", Airmass 1.25

SCIENCE-OBSERVATIONS:

    - 01:10UT - ASASSN-14jb: Follow up, 2100s gm13 spectrum. Seeing 0.6", Airmass 1.6

    - 01:55UT - OGLE-2014-SN-189: Classification. Seeing 0.5", Airmass 1.45.

      - Took a spectrum but hard to classify with SNID.

    - 02:20UT - OGLE-2013-SN-100: Photometry. 9x200s in each BV band. Seeing 0.5", Airmass 1.45

    - 03:30UT - TPhE: Standar star. Photometry. Seeing 0.4", Airmass 1.5.

    - 03:45UT - GD71: Standar star. Spectro. Seeing 0.6", Airmass 1.5.

      - problem during the exposure which didn't start. Got a bit late at this point.

      - Apparently because of some electric problem that they had during the day.

    - 04:20UT - LSQ14gie: Classification. Seeing 0.5", Airmass 1.1.

      - Bright target on the edge of a galaxy.

      - Most likely a pre-maximum (-1/2 days) normal SN Ia according to SNID, with a redshift of 0.073

    - 05:00UT - LSQ14gfb: Follow up spectro. Gm13. Seeing 0.4", Airmass 1.3.

      - Same problem as earlier, starting the exposure a bit later than expected
